Reviews from real clients of Juli Keene Nutritionist
Our family went to Juli Keene to address issues with food allergies and stomach problems experienced by one of our children. She gave appropriate tests and helped to diagnose behaviorial issues that were directly related to food allergies and intolerance. We have seen a 100% turnaround and our child is much happier and doing great. Thank you. Without Juli Keene we might have pursued medications to treat the symptoms and would never have resolved the route cause of the problem.

FAMILY NUTRITION PLANS
For many parents mealtimes with children can be a source of great stress. Especially for those who want to make sure their family is eating as healthy as possible. Babies, young children, and teenagers each present different nutrition issues. With all the conflicting nutrition information available these days it can be very confusing. Nutrition questions abound like: Should my family be vegan, or vegetarian, or gluten-free or avoid dairy or not eat sugar? My teenager has gone vegan, is this safe? How do I feed my newly turned vegetarian child but still make sure they are getting good nutrition? How do I handle my picky eaters? Juli will help you navigate what to feed your family so that mealtime becomes a pleasant experience for you and everyone in your family.
Juli is an expert at getting good nutrition into kids who are picky eaters. She can even have them thinking it’s their idea. It can be counterproductive to single out a child for nutritional intervention, Juli is extremely careful about how nutrition counseling is presented & implemented for each child. It’s best to make nutrition interventions as early as possible to ensure an optimal diet and the best health for your child. Why try to figure it out on your own when you can get professional health in comfort of your own home using telemedicine and secure HIPPA compliant (private) video chat consultation?
EATING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN AND TEENS
It’s so easy to be confused and even worried about exactly what food changes to make and how, and to be equally afraid you can cause an eating disorder in your child if you mention weight or other issues. As a parent and a Nutritionist in recovery from food issues and picky eating issues in her own child, Juli understands this. Eating disorders have become an epidemic in children as young as 7 years old up to young adults, Handling it in the wrong way, even with the best intentions, can make it worse for your child. Yet they must be addressed as picky eating can quickly turn into life long incorrect eating habits and possibly eating disorders if not addressed. Ignoring it is not the answer. An eating disorder is a progressive disease, much like alcoholism and drug addiction. The big difference being the child must eat food every day for life. Simple abstinence and avoidance are not sufficent options. This makes recovery from eating disorders particularly complicated and hard to deal with. Eating disorders have biochemical, emotional and behavioral components. Food is a huge part of each child’s lifestyle and culture. Juli takes these issues as well as genetics, family dynamics, biochemistry, mental health, and health history into account when designing a personalized nutrition program for your child and your family. Juli does the food planning related portion and works in collaboration with many of the best eating disorder therapists and 12-step proficient psychiatrists in Los Angeles and Southern California. We will refer you to a doctor or therapist if needed. We don’t treat eating disorders or work with those in an acute stage of an eating disorder, but we do work with children who are not yet in a full blown eating disorder and we can help you figure out what your best options are. We also work with families, parents and the children after the eating disorder treatment has been started with the child in recovery.
Juli will help your family deal with mealtime issues in a simple and effective way. She will conduct her family meal, eating habit and lifestyle assessment, and or individual assessment and evaluation and provide you with easy steps to take, recipes, shopping lists, behavioral tools etc. Whether you are dealing with common eating issues like kids who don’t want to eat regular meals, super picky eaters who make mealtimes misery for everyone, or an eating disorder, with Juli’s help you will begin to love mealtimes, as your family meal makeover turns your dinner table into the peaceful safe place it should be.
